I discuss with Garland Nixon and Dr. Wilmer Leon the shortfall of Western weapons amid Ukraine's ongoing offensive as well as US meddling in Taiwan and Russi...
Sorry, I’m new here. Isn’t Radio Sputnik Russian state media? Which could be considered propaganda, which would break rule 3?
Also, is this some of the “tankie” content that lemmy opponents have been citing? I know this is lemmy.ml and that this may be the type of content they want here, so I hope I’m not offending anyone.
This isn’t news, it’s propaganda, and is misleading to say the least. And the person that posted it is new to Lemmy with a 5 day old account. Probably just a troll.
Uh…there are a lot of people with 5 day old Lemmy accounts, there was literally just a mass influx. Probably the majority of users came here within the last 5 days lol. Your account is one week old. Hell, most of the active users of Lemmy before the past week were posting content like this.

Yup. Me included.
But that doesn’t address my point in responding to the question which was wondering about tankies and had the implication this may have come from an established tankie poster on that instance.

Exactly.

I’ve had a lot if interaction with the type of people that would even call themselves “tankies” (semi-ironically). They usually won’t bother to post stuff straight from Sputnik, even though their opinions and sources tend not to be Ukraine friendly (to say the least, I suppose). Your criticism is more than valid, and in the circles I run in would be met with “yeah we should be doing better with our sources than direct Russian state media”. I think that your feedback is well within bounds and respectfully written, even for people who posted here before the influx.

Exactly. Hence my remark.

There’s nothing communist about Russia now. They are trying to recreate the Russian Imperium, not the Soviet. Not that the Soviet was much better.
